Being the last day of pride month, I thought what better time to share this fun and colorful rainbow crepe cake. When I made this cake, it was just meant as an alternative birthday cake for my sister and nothing more. I am happy to be sharing this now during a time where people are paying homage, and also continuing to fight for inclusivity regardless of race, sex, and sexual or gender identities.

Since we are still in the midst of the coronavirus I decided to make individual cakes for 2 or a larger for 3 people. I made the cakes and gave them in advance to my family members in individual boxes, passing off with social distancing. That evening we were able to have cake together and celebrate via Zoom.

Making the Crepes and Whipped Cream Frosting

Crepe Batter

Most of the basis for these cakes came from Indulge with Mimis 30 Layer Crepe cake. I highly recommend her site! You can follow her step by step instructions and make this larger cake and use her crepe recipe. Although, I did make it the day before and used her whipped cream frosting recipe I did use a different simpler recipe for the crepes from delish.

Colors and Cooking

After making the batter I found a small gravy ladle that seemed to make consistently the size of crepes I wanted which was about 2.5-2.75″ to fit in my three inboxes. Then I divided the batter recipe into two and used food coloring to make two colors so I had to make a few batches of crepe batter to get all the colors. Since I was making a few small cakes, this made enough for two of each color, so 12 crepes all together in each cake. You can make more or fewer layers or colors depending on your preferences and how much batter you want to make.
